Jose Mourinho hailed Shaw for his "complete performance" after the game, an assessment in stark contrast to those the Portuguese has made in the past regarding the left-back's fitness.

And speaking on the Gary Neville podcast, the former United full-back urged Shaw to use the performance as a springboard towards making the left-back position at Old Trafford his own.

"We've seen quite a lot of these young English players - there's been quite a few at Arsenal if you think of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley is another - where the talent is there, the potential is there and it's whether they can mature and become a real player," Neville said.

"Those questions are still being asked about Luke Shaw. I have no doubt over his talent or potential having worked with him, he's a special left-back when he's fit, on form and confident.

"However, Manchester United's a tough place to play. You've got to be there every single minute of every single day - not game - and you've got to have the right mentality.
